Stick it to ’em! Your name, that is. Everyone has something to label. Little kids have sippy cups. Big kids have sports equipment. Garages have tools. Kitchens have containers and trays.

KiddoTags are “Dishwasher and Microwave Safe, Waterproof, Weather-proof (UV-Resistant) and scuff-proof” and you can order tags that stick to just about anything – stick-on, iron-on, or tie-on. They “are durable labels with over 50 character icons, 10 different colors, 18 different fonts AND 8 shapes and styles/types to choose from.”

Right now, you can get 20% OFF and FREE SHIPPING on your KiddoTagsorder when you use code NEWSLETTER at checkout. Check them out! KiddoTags are not just for kids!
